[@SearchingForPurpose]

Cracked me up seeing you all whispering then getting in that loud ass razor lol

[@bwana3006]

Cody Davidson i was thinking it but didn’t want to rub it in

[@bradenplaysgames7995]

I shot a hog through the shoulder at 100yrd with a .270 and thought I missed because of no blood. We found it two days later 50yrds from the impact spot... An old timer told me that hogs are sometimes fatty enough that the hole will close up and it won't bleed,especially if its not through and through. I have taught myself to look for hair or signs of distress at the impact point and the area around it basically tracking the animal without blood. Its harder than blood trailing but worth the effort.

[@blakesimons8182]

Daniel breaux I don’t even go for shoulder shots on pigs any more, just put it on the dead middle of the neck up and down and left and right and it goes nowhere

[@maisonkraft7019]

Aye .... 270 is the best round out there ... Take any big game in North America ... Too many people under look it

[@maisonkraft7019]

Fishing With Will Pace nice .... I dropped my deer this year with my 270 .... And a coyote

[@calvinh.8882]

Daniel Breaux, I'v done the same thing with my bow.. It was a complete pass through, and no blood to be found except on the arrow.. Which i knew for a fact i hit him good, but there was no blood to be found on the ground, and it was because his fat layer closed right back up and didn't allow any blood to escape.. And when i cut him open, his entire body cavity was full of blood..

[@lastniceguy1]

Dropped my elk in it's tracks with my 270.

[@LakeForkGuy]

I'll be back for bacon

[@themarine5389]

yum yum

[@d4walkaline]

Don't go putting a stock on that pistol without getting a tax stamp, Don't want ol' LFG in trouble with the ATF. A 14" barrel is a bit strange for hunting, but hey man, what ever works!

[@mohawkgarage3990]

Cold bore shot will be off a little bit

[@robertoroque8987]

Whats a good all around hog hunting caliber?

[@d4walkaline]

Also looks like your shot was high. If your scope has mil dots practice a bit with those with targets that are closer and further away than what you have your pistol Zeroed at. Love the vids, glad to see you back in action. Keep it up!

[@Epicawesomefail]

Hey LFG I was wanting to interject an explanation for why you possibly missed your shot. So for .762 when you zero at 100 yards the ballistics show that your first crossover is around 25 yards, I.e. your bullet will hit exactly at where your sight is aimed. So in between the 25 and 100 the bullet rises a fair bit because of the need to hit on the target at 100 yards. This means if the boar was somewhere around the range of 60-70 yards away, you were at the utmost amount of rise possible, so aiming high shoulder could’ve made you go over the boar. Hope this helps! Love the content!

[@SJS-Outdoors]

.762?

[@rayzorbladeoutdoors2722]

Sweet gun and scope ! Nice choice , really like that 6.8 ! Suppressed is the way to go , then later maybe thermal !

[@SD_yessir]

Wade Storie during the night it would be especially useful for hogs specifically. Hogs don’t have sweat glands and the only way they can cool off is by bathing in water or mud, so they’re bodies are really hot and can be easily spotted through a thermal scope.

[@willswope2204]

Jonathan Wade thermal yes

[@CD19755]

Look at Radial Firearms. They're made here in Texas as well. I haven't shot it yet, but fit and finish are top notch. Primary Arms outta Houston carries quite a few, along with thousands of accessories. I'm not sponsored by anyone I referred to, only a disabled veteran without a lot of money that values quality at a price! I also try to keep it in the great republic!! Nice video, I subbed! If you're ever looking towards East Texas for public, I know a BUNCH

[@fishing4reel479]

Liked before watching just because LFG is the man!👊💥

[@The_Osprey]

I always do that for all the videos I watch. I'm always amazed at how few people actually click the like. I figure if they are going to the trouble to make and edit these videos the least I can do is give them a thumbs up. Only if I find something really, really objectionable would I ever thumb down a video and that almost never happens to anybody I'm actually subscribed to.

[@fishing4reel479]

Invincible Osprey I like to watch video first before I comment. You are absolutely right though. I actually have forgotten to like a video a couple times and went back to video just to give it a like!👍

[@ryan_doesstuff]

Fishing 4 Reel same

[@heatherd.9390]

Love your videos, Justin. I appreciate how much work you put into them - your editing is always great. Is it possible to put in subtitles when you guys are whispering though? Great to see you back at it! Heather🇨🇦

[@WillBravoNotEvil]

Heather D. On one hand, adding titles is one more step between you and finishing. And its usually done near the end - after excruciatingly hand-crafting every edit. BUT, in my opinion, it's a worthwhile effort. It puts you into the semi-pro (or higher) category. Videographers have GOT to put themselves in the viewer's shoes. Any "work" you can remove (like forcing a viewer to strain to hear) makes the vid experience more enjoyable. All that said, he's a remarkable filmmaker for someone who's apparently self-taught.

[@Handleneeds3ormorecharacters84]

Loving these adventures, the country music and lifestyle, videos are better then ever, keep it up!

[@ybnrml1955]

You’ve just experienced what all hog hunters experience, how unexplainably tough they are. You probably hit it. I shot a 250# boar with my 7mag earlier this season and found one small piece of meat and zero blood. I’ve had some fall and some run forever, it’s completely about shot placement. Keep at it Justin.

[@grizzly9038]

go hunting with OUTLAW soon please, you two are like Bandit and Snowman from smokey and the bandit.

[@berkleygreenway8252]

I built a 6.8 on an AR frame for hog hunting myself. Very effective round. Got cocky and went for a between the eyes shot at about 75 yds. Was about 1/2 inch high, took the entire top of his head off. If you hand load there are many options available, I like the 140 gr boattail. Also built a .300 Blackout that is a heavy hitter at closer ranges.

[@rangercharlie9901]

I'm here from Demolition Ranch. I like you videos keep up the good work...

[@jromero011]

"Need a little something with some punch"... hell yeah! Sounds awesome!

[@johndoe-pb4mv]

As a long time shooter... I love LFGs trigger control!!!

[@BigBearFishing]

Enjoyed the video Justin! Hang in there and the confidence will come back man. Stay positive!!

[@afireinside909]

When went through cancer I had the same problem and it took me a while to feel 100% again, it took a lot of self reflection and prayer for me to gain my mojo back.

[@pitchingrebel3352]

I use my .300 Win Mag. Makes the job a lot easier.

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

Not to be home or anything, lfg but I think I love you, LoL 😂 the new gun just made my day, freaking awesome brother!!!!!!

[@DieterMelhorn]

Don't you just hate when you've already figured out what sausage seasoning you are going to use, or you've already envisioned which way that buck was gonna be facing on the wall beside the fireplace, and then PUFF!! Miss. Hehehehehe!! I've got 3-4 bucks that went to that same fantasy taxidermist.....LOL!!

[@jaywest4102]

Know that feeling all too well, drilling holes at the range, then a miss I can’t explain in the woods. Operator error

[@democratsuck]

"This is a 6.8 caliber. I've got a 5.56, but I traded it in....." WHAT?!?!?!

[@thefoxdoctor1072]

Modern is a good store and a couple others are Ray's Sporting goods just south of Downtown Dallas and a little further south in Waxahachie is Faith Armory and SWFA in between Midlothian and Waxahachie on Highway 287

[@xeeng10]

That long coffee sip cracked me up. Lol

[@VanillaGorilla502]

Great choice on caliber! I run 6.8 SPC as well out of a LWRC PSD. Works great out of Barrett's REC7 as well brother. Best of luck.

[@rickyq1511]

It was great to see you at Modern Outfitters. Glad to see you found a toy!

[@Boosted98gsx]

Welcome to the NFA club! Cans are the best crack to guns since full auto.

[@francisd2386]

Oh boy, that alert popped on my phone and said LFG had a new gun for dog hunting. I'm glad I read that wrong!

[@WINDTURBINEUNION]

Hopefully I get to go hunting this year super pumped watching your videos 👌🏽👌🏽

[@DeAdEyE956]

Get a can for sure but wear some electronic ear muffs. Academy has a good pair for about $70. Don’t take your hearing for granted. I like that 6.8

[@williamwerner8118]

Nice set up on your new baby !!!! Loving it!!!

[@jaredandrews379]

Well I'm jealous of that ar pistol

[@monix5531]

De-virginise - that the sort of sweet talk that landed OSG? :)

[@hunterdemmon3916]

If you missed at 125 when you dialed your scope at 100, return your rifle. That wont drop more than a 1/4 inch! Good luck, get that bacon!! Great video!

[@vincentcapaldi2919]

Check the scope mounts to make sure they’re secure after shooting it can shake the scope loose

[@exo7816]

Love the hunting vids. Please do some more of them!

[@trevorboyd5142]

Nice! 6.8spc! That's the way to go. If I was in the market again that's probably the caliber I'd go for

[@benjaminsmith992]

You should buy the maxim defense pdx in 7.62x39 or 300accblackout I think it would be a really good AR-15 style pistol for hunting i bought one but i havent hunted with it yet i got the 7.62x39 because i had a couple thousand sks rounds for deer hunting its really low recoil and it does a good job up to 100 yards with 5.5 inch barrel but i would get a 12 inch barrel for it

[@kevinlewis8642]

Awesome rifle! However, I just one shot a 200 pound boar with a 64 grain 223. With the right shot placement, an.ar in 223 is sufficient. Great video!

[@surfsnow1984]

Nice new rig! I have a similar setup in a 10.5” 300 blackout

[@fetti214]

Nicholas Ashpole is that how long his barrel is?

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

Hey on a serious note tho any hunts with the harvest shot on film zoomed in I'll buy on DVD! You and those other two guys gets some harvest shot and boom you got a DVD I'd buy today! Thanks for another great video!

[@bigxnasty]

Should of kept the 556 man.

[@jrang7562]

The hunting vids are sick

[@andrekielczewski4607]

where is the place you hunt that the owner says "shoot them"

[@jasonclark3025]

There is either a bush behind it or a dust cloud from your shot which means you possibly shot high

[@hoffmiermp]

Cetme C308, great not so little hog hammer. 👌

[@CThao-zs9nh]

I recommend you the DPMS LR G2 M4 308 16" is better than any others, I'd uses this rifle for deer/hog hunting, it was more power knocked down than 6.8 mm, I'd do have an AR 6.8 spc before n trade for 308 G2 DPMS.

[@kellerburks]

Missed a doe from 50 yards in standing corn with an Rem 870, ruined my whole season. Love the hunting vids!

[@The_Osprey]

When you fired that shot I didn't hear the telltale bullet on meat thud. I've noticed that even when hunting when I was in high school you could hear that from a couple hundred yards or more away even from other hunters. That is definitely one sweet rifle. Good choice. Is that Leupold one of those that has installed dope for 6.8 or something else? I would get intimately familiar with the ballistics and trajectory of whatever ammunition you are using out of your rifle. Once you know that and are confident you can literally just Kentucky Windage shots if you have a good idea on the range.

[@axwack]

You guys are the funniest hillbillies ever. Great video. Let’s hunt together!

[@LUNGBUSTERLUNGBUSTER]

Dont worry you'll get backk in the swing soon enough, atleast you got out and had a great day!

[@mdfogarty]

I'm liking the hunting vids. I also would have liked to watch you making the rifle selection and see you working to get the rifle zeroed.

[@bigchew20]

Get it Lfg Turn That Hog to Pulled Pork Let's. Get it.

[@mdfogarty]

More details on the rifle please. Is that a 14.7" barrel? OD Green cerakote? Have you started the process to get a can on it?

[@GarlandTxMFG]

You need to stop by the shop that those guns are made in... just down the street in Garland Tx

[@bw545]

No offense LFG but I am really surprised Rob let you buy a pistol for hunting. Something with a proper stock would be much better than that Sig brace for making a good ethical kill shot consistently. At least the ATF cleared up the part about shouldering the gun being legal. Good luck. Liked the video.

[@amorton94]

B W I was surprised to see that as well. I'm sure the short barrel doesn't help that 6.8 at all neither.

[@bw545]

amorton94 you know Rob has that LWRC razorback in 6.8 and I really think that LFG wanted one so bad, a 6.8 I mean, that he would settle for the most cost effective way to get one. He did mention in the video he traded his .223 in for that gun. I can't tell from the video but it's probably a 13" barrel. Probably why he got such a so called good deal. They saw him coming...lol. And now without a tax stamp or barrel change he is kinda stuck. I hope I end up being way off base for LFG's sake and it is a wonderful weapon for him and he is super successful taking hogs and deer.

[@michaelt6840]

Pistols are fine, a few inches of barrel is whatever. Shouldering a brace is almost as good as a stock anyways so I don't see the problem with his choice in firearm. Hog hunting is not necessary a long range affair unless you make it that way and overall if it's accurate that's all the matters.

[@chaiseholley9338]

May want to try hollow points they open up better on impact and will leave more blood. I've had a problem with shooting deer with my 5.56 and only get tiny amounts of blood. I've switched to hollow points and now when I shoot a deer no matter where I always get tons of blood on the ground.

[@GonnerMeLeggies]

Missed an Elk like that when I was 16. Have not been on a rifle hunt since. Now its all bows.

[@gregoryshorts700]

Would a good range finder help out ?

[@TimHollis3006]

Modern Outfitters is the best gun shop in the country especially the Meridian, MS store

[@maddadoutdoors6560]

Game a 250 pound hog a dirt nap with 62 grain .556 green tips. #belowtheear

[@hayzefisher7770]

Hell yeah LFG!

[@dr1zzle168]

Dude you rock! Been there my Bro. All to often.

[@chachsmith5138]

Hey does anyone know which area of woods these guys are at? The boys and I just got back from the Middle East and don’t know where to go do some hunting down here in the lone star state! Thank y’all in advance

[@bradenplaysgames7995]

Chach Smith look into a type two permit. I'm in the newton area and there are a ton of acres out here to hunt. Last time I looked at a map of type two hunting I remember there being a lot of hunting available all over tx. Here we look for river bottoms and thickets near boggy areas.

[@calvinh.8882]

Chach Smith, They are hunting on private property.. Find some large farming/cattle ranches around your area, and just stop and ask if they allow or need help keeping the wild hogs under control.. The worst thing they can say is no.. Peace!

[@Dylan_Miller]

Very cool man. Looks like fun

[@mxr20000000000]

You will put many pigs on the grill with that gun. You just gave your first offering to the coyote gods.

[@alabamatrout6985]

Lovin’ my 300 blackout like that

[@Sethemiah]

what do you think about the air powered arrow shooters for hunting hogs? i live in the city, and i have a coyote problem, so a good arrow shot with a crossbow is great, but that's a long reset time compared to some of the air shooters. the air rifles are loud enough that they might attract unwanted attention, but if it was shooting arrows, i think i could get away with a little more.

[@ciscokidkid6580]

We need to keep our AR boys and let people know we hunt with ARs. Politicians lie lie lie and say we don’t.

[@kathrynhodgson5037]

Have you had your eyes checked? Maybe Willis affected your sight. I was in a car accident (impaired driver hit me) and I struck the left side of my face. This has impaired my pool playing and shooting. When I’m sighted in, it goes high and right so I’ve learned to adjust low and left. Just a thought considering where it was located.

[@colem.4887]

Internet expert here, your gonna want to ditch the single point sling and go with a two point. Also is that an ar pistol? very cool gun!

[@bensonthuntley]

Nice gun, just remember to always wear eye and hearing protection even when hunting :)

[@OzarksCreekandTimber]

im suprised that little toyoter could make it through that mud puddle.

U hit him in his back leg u can tell by the way he ran off

[@andrewmacc6611]

Got out with a new gun, took a shot on a hog, im jealous sounds like a good day to me. Way to stay positive get out the and put some hogs in the dirt

[@b1gm1k38]

I’d love to see a video of you showing us your guns.

[@brokefisherman4557]

What was the barrel length?

[@MarineBoar]

A thru shoulder deer hold is incorrect for hogs. Hold on lower third of body as vitals are low and forward of front leg. The neck is a larger target and easier to hit. :)

[@patrickconnors8403]

I fully understand, perfection is a myth though. You'll get another.

[@stonewallpi1]

Missed him by a pigs hair! :) Not bad for the first shot with your new weapon! I'm sure you'll accessorize that basic model into a killing machine!

[@koolhandluke5892]

Modern performance. Love that place my wife ownes the salon next to it.

[@stxrod23]

Badass pistol you got!

[@civilized5734]

really like the new toy!

[@adammeyer3942]

A lot of times if you shoot an animal in the shoulder it won't leave a blood trail because of all the muscle especially with a hog. I bet if you went walking around in those woods you'll find it. I shot a nice 8 pointer in the shoulder and it left 1 drop of blood in 50 yards, found it the next day not far from where I shot it. Love the vids hope all is well!!

[@maxwarner4888]

If yours using those ballistic tip rounds then they normally don’t bleed

[@austinbuchanan6038]

You really don't need to big of a bullet to drop a hog I've dropped 2 big boars with .223

[@anglosaxon8111]

N dont need 1k+ dollar ars either. Get you a remington 700 n it will gladly do the job. Stop tryin to be taticool in the swamp, just end up lookin like fkn idiots to the real country boys.

[@j762texan7]

No so much bullet caliber as bullet selection and shot placement

[@johndoe-pb4mv]

Anglo Saxon it's not about being tactical. It's about exposure. Bolt actions use to be military guns, people saw it enough for it to be the normal today. Ar's are our modern military guns and need exposures that it's not made just to kill people. You can use it for sport and hunting animals. That's how we win the anti' s hearts. Make ar15 so common that it's normal.

[@ScuffedEngineer]

Customize Everything He bought a legal pistol. Got a brace and what I'd say is a 12.5" barrel, the AR receiver is 7" and a Leupold VX6 1-6 is 11.2" for reference points.

[@Hightideoutdoors]

Insurance on a bad shot

[@charlesdriggers199]

Give it another chance. You will get one for sure.

[@HansETX]

I lose sleep because of hogs running off too... unfortunately it doesn’t matter what caliber or type of ammo you are using.. I’ve shot many hogs that didn’t leave a blood trail.. some of them are just runners.. don’t beat yourself up over the shot, I’m sure you hit him. You show me a guy that says that every hog they shoot drops right away...and I’ll show you a guy that hasn’t shot that many hogs... keep it up bud 👍🏻

[@BryanIrvine]

Oh man, I was hunting down near three rivers (also Texas) area a few weeks back and just totally wiffed my shot so I know how ya feel brotha.

[@cctrans29]

That's a sweet AR you have there.A 6.8 huh? Never heard of that caliber. Have heard about the 6.5 Creedmoor.

[@noahyoung6336]

Remington makes it
